PROS: Rogue leader’s gunner gets a nice upgrade from the 2002 version and a must have for Luke’s new snowspeeder. Pack-in rifle is a nice extra as well.
CONS: Nothing really new here, being a TLC repaint and all. A basic (non-exclusive) carded version of Dack before Wedge? Blasphemy!

So be sure to get those last minute entries in by entering them here.
PROS: A far cooler figure once removed from the card. Loaded with sculpted details that are hidden under the removable coverings. Even the removable parts have intricacies on their reverse side. A far better interpretation than the 2004 VOTC figure.
CONS: Seems a little underscaled. The carded presentation neglects to showcase that he has the removable panel feature. Lack of the metalized finish hurts the overall look slightly.

PROS: Despite having received a new, super-articulated Bespin Luke a couple years ago, Hasbro managed to fine a way to make it obsolete. This is by far the best interpretation of this figure to date. The deco, likeness, sculpt and articulation are in a word perfect. This figure should easily serve as a base for a future “Dagobah Training” version with a simple torso and arm upgrade.
CONS: A minor quibble – the hole that received the post on the lightsaber hilt is a tad too small and brittle as after a few repeated interactions with the hilt, the tiny loop split. : (

We update tonight with a detailed look at the carded and loose figures from upcoming Clone Wars wave 4 consisting of Embo, Boba Fett, Mandalorian Warrior, R4-P17 and Shaak Ti. Click the below above for a closer look.
PROS: This is the first time we’ve received this particular treatment of the Han in Hoth Gear. A great attention to detail has been given to the parka in particular (although it hangs a tad long) and the contrasting color inner “liner” is a nice touch as well. Facial sculpt is a great likeness to Mr. Ford. The welding tools are nice extras for working on the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
CONS: The kitbash body used here is still very gangly and the leg articulation tends to go all “ostrichy” in when in comes to the knee joints. Holster is a kind of sloppily attached esthetically. The hair-do seems a bit “off” at some angles.
